Welcome to Shedsoft's little corner of the Web.
I write software in
my spare time to solve problems that interest me to keep my
brain working. These days that generally means stuff related to sim racing, particularly iRacing. I like iRacing. A lot.
iRDDU2 is the replacement for the original iRacing Data Display Unit. iRDDU enables iRacers to display data from the iRacing API in real time on their own custom dashboards. It was originally designed to be used on USB screens (such as the DisplayLink based USB screens) but will work on any screen that forms part of the Windows desktop so you can utilise spare HDMI or DVI ports or overlay dashes on iRacing itself if you don't run it full screen.
In
addition to this iRDDU2 supports real time streaming over a network
to any device which can display Motion JPEG meaning you can can
display dashboards on phones or tablets that support any M-JPEG
client such as Firefox, VLC or Safari. I've personally tested
it on a Samsung Tab2 7", a Blackberry Q10 and an iPhone 5S as well
as various networked PCs and it works pretty well.
The new version does everything the original did but with many new features such as multiple simultaneous dashes, button box support, inline formulae, the ability to send keystrokes to iRacing, a scripting language for more complex dashboard controls, an in-built dashboard downloading facility and a much improved dashboard editor.
All our software is free to download and use but if you wish you can contribute to the tea and biscuit fund using the PayPal button to the left. We
don't do this for the money but it’s nice to
know the effort is appreciated. Anyone who
donates £10 or more gets access to the beta area
on the forum where you get priority support and access to beta versions prior to
general release.
The
initial development of iRDDU was supported by
Derek Speare and
Zen Software and
consequently it includes some inline advertising. They were both
enormously supportive during the development of iRDDU. Please use
the links above and on the download page to see what they have to
offer - they really are very nice people to do business with.
some people call it freeware, some adware and others donationware. Whatever you call it I hope you find it useful. Enjoy. :o)
